Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Michael Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rufus Soderberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dustin Douglas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Samba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Douglas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is La La La - Snoop Lion. Samba has chosen Bezerker by Love Among Freaks as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
